Vargas mansion fire: Special coverage by the Canadian News Agency

Last night, in a village Alberta, Canada, the mansion of the Vargas family was burned down in an assumed household fire. All the people who were inside the house at the time were evacuated, with the exception of the younger grandson of Romulus Vargas, owner of the estate. The Vargas were well known members of society, owners and designers of the world famous fashion company "Italia style".

The press interviewed members of the Vargas family about the fire.

"Feliciano… he was such a nice little boy." Was the only words Romulus Vargas could choke out before collapsing into sobs. The grieving man had to be led out of the interview room.

"My stupid fratello (1), he was so stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid! Why didn't he run when I told him to?! I told him to run, but he didn't. The stupid bastard had to trip and fall…" The older brother of the dead boy, a boy named Lovino had cursed his brother and himself for Feliciano's death.

Both parents of the boys were out of the country at the time of the accident, and couldn't be interviewed.

The fire started at around 1 AM, most likely in the kitchen. From there, the fire had rapidly spread all around the mansion, burning everything in sight. Luckily, the fire alarms worked and alerted the family and the fire department. Because of that, all surviving members of the family had made it out without any injuries. 10 year old Feliciano Vargas had slept through the fire alarms, and by the time he heard his 13 year old brother yelling at him, it had been too late.

His body was found by the fire department, hiding under his bed. He had most likely died of oxygen deprivation than by burning, as his body was without any substantial injuries.

Fortunately, for the family, they might not have to have a funeral just yet.

Due to extensive research done by many scientists around the world, we can now keep dead bodies in a stable condition for many years, still allowing them to age naturally during those years. In a few years, we should be able to revive the dead, and allow them to return to their families. The Vargas family agreed to let officials take Feliciano's body, and use it in the name of science.

Authors note: I hope this is a good prologue. This will be my first multi-chapter story, and I hope you like it. If I get more than one review, I will continue this story. Also, just in case you didn't get it, this prologue is written as an article from a newspaper. It should also be noted that the Canadian News Agency mentioned does not exist, just as Italia Style and other companies don't exist. They are simply creations of my imagination.
